You should go into infommercials. You make repacking a bearing sound like a very daunting task.

You don't need a bucket or solvent. You just put a blob of grease in the palm of your hand and press the grease into the bearing. Wear some of the vinyl hospital type gloves to minimize mess. The tub of grease is about the size of a small tub of car wax. I think you'll have room for this laying around.

NAPA or whoever can turn the rotors for 10-15 dollars a piece. Install them, torque the wheel bearing according to the manual, install calipers and pads, and clean everything with brake parts cleaner.
